Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. It seems to be due to mild viral infection of gut. You may take the following measures to help her:
1. Give her Syp. Domperidone or ondansetrone for relief of vomiting.
2. Keep her well hydrated by regular feeds and oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, soups, Buttermilk etc.
3. Start her on an antacid such as Digene or ranitidine for associated gastritis.
4. Continue acetaminophen for relief of fever if present.

Hopefully this will help you. In case of any further questions, you may contact me.
Take care.
